1. 21. Earthworm and arbuscular mycorrhizal communities in agricultural soils : management of key soil organisms for sustainable agriculture

   Författare :Kaisa Torppa; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Intensive agriculture is detrimental to soil biodiversity and functioning. Promoting communities of key soil organisms, such as earthworms and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, may help improve agricultural sustainability by replacing inputs with ecosystem services. LÄS MER

3. 22. Conifer chemical defense : Rugulation of bark beetle colonization and pheromone emission

   Författare :Tao Zhao; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson; Irena Valterova; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Picea abies; Ips typographus; Ceratocystis polonica; methyl jasmonate; windstorm; stress response; terpenes; phenols; colonization; pheromone emission; Plant and forest protection; Växt- och skogsskydd;

   Sammanfattning : Terpenes and phenols are of importance in conifer defense against insects and pathogens. Knowledge about tree chemical defense is vital for developing practical methods to maintain healthy forests. LÄS MER

4. 23. Infectious keratitis : causative microorganisms and how to detect them

   Författare :Susanna Sagerfors; Bo Söderquist; Birgitta Ejdervik Lindblad; Jesper Hjortdal; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infectious keratitis; corneal culture; C. macginleyi; targeted sequencing;

   Sammanfattning : First, to describe the microbial spectrum in infectious keratitis by both a culture and a targeted sequencing approach; second, to describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of Corynebacterium macginleyi; and third, to study different aspects of the corneal culture process by comparing two instruments used for sampling and two sampling and inoculation strategies. The five studies in this thesis made use of two retrospective study populations and one prospective study population.

5. 24. Cutaneous resistance against Francisella tularensis

   Författare :Stephan Stenmark; Mikael Rhen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :tularemia; Francisella tularensis; skin; protection; cytokines; T-cells; B-cells; specific antibodies; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

   Sammanfattning : Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a potent pathogen in humans and other mammals. The ulceroglandular form of the disease is the most common expression in humans with a clinical picture characterized by a skin ulcer, enlarged regional lymph nodes and fever. LÄS MER

7. 25. Integrating legumes in mixed crop-livestock systems in east Africa: Farmers' perceptions, ecosystem services and support for decision making

   Författare :Tarirai Muoni; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Challenges faced by smallholder farmers in east Africa include limited access to inputs, small farm sizes, and erratic rainfall patterns. Legume intensification and species diversification have been recommended for improving food and nutritional security, controlling soil erosion, improving soil fertility, supplying income and providing fuel.
